By His Grace - Ephesians 2:8-108For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance |

June 27 Bridegroom - My Reflections - March 9, 2007My Reflections - Bridegroom The bridegroom implies that Jesus is going to be married! He is, and we (as the body of believers) are the bride! When Jesus came into my heart, a couple of important things happened, I became a part of God’s family, I became a new creation, my name was written in the Book of Life. I (and the body of believers) will be at the marriage supper of the Jesus, when He comes back to take His bride (the Church) to heaven to reign with Him, there will be a celebration, like no-one has ever seen. This is why committing your life to Jesus is so exciting and so right, you not only get forgiven for all of your sins, you also get to enjoy the most wonderful party there will ever be, in all of the history time. Thank You Jesus for giving usYour perfect life so we could be free! John 3:29 (NASB) “He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. And so this joy of mine has been made full.” Back Pain Saga - March 8, 2007Back Pain saga March 8, 2007 I had an appointment with my family doctor yesterday, and basically I have to start strengthening my legs and back by walking, riding the recumbent bike and sleeping less. We are not sure what is causing all the back pain and why for the last 6 months I have been experiencing debilitating physical pain, controlled only by narcotics. The narcotics are a bad way to deal with pain, however I don’t respond to other pharmaceutical alternatives. So we are probably going to go and get me to see a physiotherapist and a massage therapist to help get me back to leading a more normal life, instead of relying on wheelchair. I wonder about my HSP as this is causing a lot of arthritic pain in my joints, and sometimes that is hard to handle. I also have a ‘muscle knot’ which is quite huge on my back, so that can be worked on by a massage therapist. Swimming again is something that will likely be happening soon and Brian has agreed that he will go, so he can help me with getting around and stuff. I really want to do swimming because it is much more fun and relaxing and I am definitely a water baby. God has shown me this week it is time for me to start participating again in life and that if I take really small steps and rely on those around me, that I will be okay again, maybe not a marathon runner, but I will be able to have my life back to a better state. Also the doctor told me that I have lost 10 pounds since October, which is really good since I have only done that by changing my diet. One step at a time, I can hear God saying. Praising God for everything - March 7, 2007Praising God for everything March 7, 2007 I have taken baby steps today to be able to write my first entry on my dream weblog. I have Jesus to thank for that, He has put the funds, the ideas, the people in place for us to have the tools to be able to create things that honour and give glory to Him. I have been having a bad week in terms of how I am dealing with life and people in my life who I consider toxic. We received a call from a former friend, and what was sad about that call, is that Brian and I completely lost our cool and yelled at this person, who wanted a blanket (that we don’t have and have no idea where it is) and this happened 3 years ago and she is just so cold and hard hearted and cruel, that we took the bait and got very angry at her on the phone. After we hung up on her we prayed about her situation and asked forgiveness for our actions. We can only pray now for her and hope one day we will be able to have a friend to friend conversation. She did call us once (a long time ago) and told us she gave her heart to Jesus, that was a joyous day and we really were happy and celebrated that with her. However, now, she is just like she was in her past, bitter, angry, cruel and lonely I guess. I hope she will find peace. I saw the neurologist on February 21, so I have a bit of updating to do. I am just so happy right now, my blog is now complete and ready for new daily life entries. So I will leave now for tomorrow is a new day and the updates on my health and just my recent Godly reflections will start again as well. Thanks for stopping by! God Bless you! Jesus you rock! I love You Lord!! MRI results - Dec 22, 2006The results December 22, 2006 The MRI results came back, yes it is another rare disorder - Tarlov cysts. Atleast now we know what we are dealing with. I am making this a short entry today. I'd like to pray to all that visit my blog, that you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. May you know the beautiful light, warmth and love of Jesus and that you will have a blessed holiday, with peace and goodness. See you in the new year, wow hard to believe its already 2007. Regards, Peace be with you in Christ Jesus' name, from Tammy Intensity - December 2, 2006Intensity December 2, 2006 This is what my calendar says today, intensity. I have neglected this blog for a while as have been having a pretty intense month or so due to physical and mental challenges in my life. I had an MRI on Monday to diagnosis what has been a bit of a mystery with my spine. I have what they think is called a 'tarlov cyst'. From what I have read these cysts usually don't cause so much trouble. It is a rare disorder (here we go again!) and with that comes a lot of reading on my part. This cyst is causing all sorts of trouble with my walking, sitting and standing. It could also be causing neurological problems (my mind), which Brian and I have noticed my memory is slipping somewhat and I am saying things when I mean something entirely different. I am kinda like an alzheimer's patient in a way. I won't have the final results until around Dec 13, I guess it takes about that long for the diagnosis to get to my family doctor. For me it's another lesson is patience - Yes I hear you Lord, I am an impatient person and I am learning to trust you more completely in these times. I prayed really hard when I having the MRI, God was right there, they played Shine FM (at my request) and I was able to hear one of my favourite songs 'Redeemer' by Nicole C. Mullen to start of the test. I was just thankful I didn't have to go head first in the MRI. God looked after all of that, and I didn't have to wait that night, I went right in and also had xrays done, all tests done in under an hour - God you are amazing for working out the details that night. Do I let God run my life, not all the time, I have to let go of the reigns, give up my drivers license for He is the expert when it comes to what I need to do. I will make a note to update on the cyst diagnosis and hopefully I will be able to make a plan of attack or rather healing with my family doctor, as the painkillers are just a temporary solution. Peace be with you and also the love of Jesus - Tammy |
